I missed the streamlined urban aesthetic that men in Toronto have. As seen at Rick's Good Eats in Mississauga, ON.

I've already mentioned my love of Japanese aesthetic in terms of voluminous structure, but these are really great showcases of how it can really be stunning (and yet wearable) in real life. One of my favorite captured streetstyle looks from my trip to Korea also featured such drama.
Here are some from Droptokyo:
I'm not sure if this counts as volume or just relaxed, but Sen Mitsuji is just good looking so I'll just leave this here anyway ;)

| Name: Kurumi | くるみ Occupation: Free Model Tops: HELK Pants: JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN Shoes: Cry. Accessory: Used |
How elegant is this woman? It takes skilled tailoring to achieve volume like this without looking heavy.
 |
| Name: Daiki | ダイキ Occupation: Hair Stylist (OOO YY) Jacket: Used Sweater: UNIQLO Bottoms: Used Shoes: VANS |
Something as simple as unexpected bagginess (while everything remains crisp) really adds attitude.

Whether she works in a creative field or this is her off-day, this is an incredibly bold look! Definitely not the typical OL-san.

Sometimes the classics are the most striking. Love how these looks all have a modern twist - whether it's in length, combination, hair and makeup, accessories, or cut - that definitely keep them from being anything but boring.

| Name: Shuhei Uesugi | 上杉柊平 Occupation: Actor (KEN-ON) Coat: UNIQLO |
This blazer coat hits at such an interesting place. Since the rest of his outfit is completely white it really highlights the sharpness of his outerwear.
 |
| Name: Ruka | る鹿 Occupation: Model Jacket: ROSE BUD Bag: ROSE BUD Shoes: Dr.Martens |
Styling is so important. Neckline buttoned up all the way, matching red in the lips and nails = on point.
 |
| Name: Ken Morita Occupation: Model (BARK in STYLe) Sweater: UNIQLO Denim pants: A.P.C. |
Rings and earrings are super subtle. Love the cozy grandpa knit and suave hair. Hipster style, Tokyo version?

| Name: RUKO | るうこ Occupation: Model Tops: Acne Studios Skirt: IRENE Bag: Bottega Veneta Shoes: Bottega Veneta |
So many ways things can be reinvented.

Japanese fashion's influence on minimalism is monumental. I absolutely love voluminous structure inspired by traditional shapes, and the classic combination of varying shades of navy and khaki reminiscent of indigo dye and bamboo. The simpler some things appear, the more studied and perfected the lines actually are.
Droptokyo features all sorts of streetstyle, and I love how they give you facts such as occupation, so that you can imagine how each person incorporates their style into their normal lives. It surprises me some of the unique major designer items people own, but they are always incorporated in a subtle, personalized style all their own, and mixed with low, and even second-hand pieces.
Here are some of my favorites in the muted theme:
 |
| Name: Saki Shibata | 柴田 紗希 Occupation: Model Jacket: Yves Sain Laurent Bottoms: Used Bottoms: flower Shoes: Used Bag: GUCCI |
No rules for petites. Anyone can rock a dramatic hemline.
 |
| Name: Rintarou Asari | 浅利琳太郎 Outer: MUJI Tops: Used Bottoms: AOKI Bag: Christopher Nemeth |
That white scarf really pops despite the restrained, introverted air.
 |
| Name: Suzumi | スズミ Tops: Used Bottoms: MUJI Shoes: JOURNAL STANDARD relume Bag: ZARA Hat: Used |
Love her use of texture to break up the black, and make her French chic look not at all cliché.
 |
| Name: Sho Ono | 小野 匠 Occupation: Actor Jacket: YANTOR Tops: YANTOR Pants: YANTOR Glasses: Chistian Roth Hair Salon: vicca |
The hues of this look are so rich when combined in layers. See how large yet streamlined the shape is.
 |
| Name: RYUTARO | リュウタロウ Occupation: Hair stylist (OOO YY) Jacket: NuGgETS Setup: yotsuba Casket: Yohji Yamamoto Shoes: MIHARAYASUHIRO |
A cute, mori ("forest") look.

"Fashion fades, style is eternal." - Yves Saint Laurent
All the sorts of people were there today to view the Yves Saint Laurent exhibit at the SAM. YSL has always had a dichotomous image in my head of being either very elegant and proper or very daring and pushing the envelope. Like with any sort of art though, anybody can appreciate the creativity and craftsmanship and history of such a designer, whether or not it's their personal aesthetic.
These were some of my favorite pieces, although there were many more risque, elaborate, fantastical works that YSL was known for. I loved all the mod styles with sleek cuts that just barely frame the figure.

Adding to my (tiny) international magazine collection: Marvle Magazine!
Some cool features included reports on local designers, backstage fashion shows, and interviews with professionals in the industry. Wish I could read Korean haha... but the pictures were amazing enough on their own!
Marvle Magazine - Kyobo Book Centre
Snapback and cartoon socks - various small shops

And of course what really sold me - the streetstyle shots! I've seen these all over Tumblr so was excited to have the real deal in hard copy (which is printed on lovely heavy weight paper to boot). Didn't even realize that this magazine/photographer was where they came from.
Can't believe we were standing in the exact same spots in Dongdaemun Plaza only a month ago!
